"Broken rudder — ^seas washing over us — fear ixatch.es will go," the Veni radiocd. The Venqs replied: "Kpep smixing; we are coming." She inxmediately steamed towards the Veni and the British vessel Jupiter also hastened to the rescue. The Jupiter, which was nearest, arrived first, but -was joined by the Venus, both pouring out Qil in the hope of moderating tlxe seas. It was impossible to dispatch a boat.
